Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VIII. At The End - Games

After the humiliating defeat that was having to summon to defeat the King's pet, I managed to subdue the Burnt Ivory King on my own It would've been so much less frustrating if his attacks weren't so damaging, but the fight and the whole part before it was extremely cool [sp]I didn't think the Loyce knights could die before freezing the portals. One of them kicked the bucket and the king had a couple pyromancers with him[/sp]

The Elevator Stair thing in Anor Londo is really glitchy when you are invading/being invaded. Friend of mine invaded me and activated it and somehow he fell through it and died and I fell through the stairs and got stuck in them. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/DxEa03f.png[/thumb] As a bonus.. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/7gYLq8d.png[/thumb] Why am I marked late? I didn't say it was a new thing.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49838225]Consider that the knights serving as bosses may have a far larger size than the lore one because, in every videogame in existence, making a boss notably bigger helps the player keeping track on him and spot his animations more easily[/QUOTE] It was probably so they didn't have to rig Ciarans model 3 times on 2 different skeleton; which would also require a second set of handmade animations. Although because of it they are indeed hilariously small. Also I cannot stress enough just how god damn big that bow is.

Are you running th game at 60fps?

Are you running th game at 60fps?[/QUOTE] First I'm using the Mask of The Mother cause the build I'm using doesn't put much into HP so I need the boost from the mask. Secondly Nah I don't run the game at 60fps. I did use DSfix at the time but I didn't have the 60fps on. That and a friend of mine and I are using the characters for invading in Anor londo. Mine being Called Anor Mama and his Londo Papa.

Do we know if the embargo lifts at midnight on a certain timezone, or is it some time tomorrow in like the late morning/afternoon?

What exactly happens when you link the fire?

[QUOTE=General;49840503]What exactly happens when you link the fire?[/QUOTE] I figured it quells the tide of undeath and lets society rebuild or something similar

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49836376]goodbye friends, i will see you all on april 12th[/QUOTE] there is no need to leave as per usual i will decimate anyone who spoils this game

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49840583]there is no need to leave as per usual i will decimate anyone who spoils this game[/QUOTE] Even if you do, there will be victims of the Spoiler. You can't be here 24/7. But I'm glad mods are at the ready.

am i the only one here who isn't going to be spoiled by any leaked stuff? i don't really find these games to have a plot, only some connected bits of lore, which i don't even keep up with, i just play the games for their gameplay and visuals.

Spoilers can also be items, secrets, bosses, areas, etc. that haven't been revealed publicly. Things that people don't want "spoiled" for them because they want to experience it first hand for themselves.

A man chooses, a hollow obeys. Would you kindly gather more souls? How would anyone even spoil it? Are they just going to give you their interpretation of what they think happened? "umm, you kill this big thing at the end and I think I replaced it? I'm not really sure but there is a cool fire level part way through where a thing jumps out, it's really hard"

[QUOTE=Itszutak;49840565]I figured it quells the tide of undeath and lets society rebuild or something similar[/QUOTE] So a new kingdom arises for example?

The only spoilers I'm afraid of are returning characters and major boss spoilers. Like I think it would of sucked hard if I knew that (BB and DS2 bosses)[sp]Gehrman[/sp]or[sp]Hollowed Vendrick[/sp]were bosses and would have lost the impact that they had when you first see them.

Yea. It's mostly the whole "Let me discover the game on my own, you jackass spoiling prick!" This is one of the games I'd will avoid spoilers at my best. Still not sure I'll buy it day one because I want to see how the port goes but I'll definitely pick it up in the following days at best. Zelda U is the other game I'll go beyond to avoid spoilers, where I'd probably go towards unsubbing from some YT channels or maybe bookmarking specific pages so I don't go through the main sub page. That shit is always filled with spoiling thumbnails...

The Souls games have stories, it seems like some people just don't dive deep enough into the lore to know or care about them. They just take the game as it is, and follow where the locked doors and bosses take them.

[QUOTE=Captain;49840675]The only spoilers I'm afraid of are returning characters and major boss spoilers. Like I think it would of sucked hard if I knew that (BB and DS2 bosses)[sp]Gehrman[/sp]or[sp]Hollowed Vendrick[/sp]were bosses and would have lost the impact that they had when you first see them.[/QUOTE] see, now that's the kind of thing i would want to see, unless it was like a big thing in the game.

Plus it's fun to piece together X element with Y event and end up feeling like the world was more then what it seemed before you arrived. It gives it more life to Dark Souls' worlds since there isn't much left in any of them. By that I mean, a lot of the dead thematic.

[QUOTE=Pops;49840741]see, now that's the kind of thing i would want to see, unless it was like a big thing in the game.[/QUOTE] People just have to realize that not everyone feels that way. While you may like to see things like that ahead of time, others are very much looking forward to being surprised. Plus, the bosses he mentioned are, in a way, story related. They're part of the overarching plot of the games.

[QUOTE=General;49840503]What exactly happens when you link the fire?[/QUOTE] You prolong the age of fire for a little while, and another soul would need to do it again, over and over again. You're merely postponing the inevitable pretty much.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49840583]there is no need to leave as per usual i will decimate anyone who spoils this game[/QUOTE] Pretty much the one thing I could agree with you. The worse spoilers for me are videos of bosses, NPC's, and some of the areas they preside them, with the exception that if you were to post the game's OST on Youtube with names like "Song/Track #23", then it won't ruin me. For NPC or boss spoilers, it'd be awful if I were to glance at this thread and someone posts in big bold letters "SOLAIRE AND GWYN ARE GONNA BE IN DS3 DURRR!!" Like from the introduction cinematic that was posted online we already know that [sp]we're gonna fight all four of those Lords of Cinder ala DSI.[/sp]

It matters but you only get like 1% of the experience from the name. The only name that's serious was the very last one and that's for extremely obvious reasons, but other than that... I just don't see how you can spoil the most personal, catered to game in the world. Obviously I'm not going to be a dickhead and spoil anything but it still slips me. You can spoil something like Skyrim because it's the most straight forward thing there is, but Dark Souls?

Being mad at Dark Souls spoilers is pretty self-defeating, considering how one of the single most important aspects of learning about [I]anything[/I] from Dark Souls is from online discussion. The easiest and best solution is to just take what spoilers come and, not having [I]any[/I] of the context that comes with them, speculate wildly as you come up to it.
